I Am A Big Believer

I Know That They [jackie Joyner-kersee, Florence Griffith-joyner And Even Wilma Rudolph] Have Paved The Way And They Have Been A Source Of Inspiration.

I Try To Think About My Goals. I Think About My Competitors-i Know They're Working Hard, And If They Are, I Have To Work Hard Too. I Have To Be One Step Ahead Of Them.

There Was A Race That I Was Running In Mexico City And I Was The Only High School Athlete Running Against Grown Women. It Was A Professional Race, But I Ended Up Winning. That Was Kind Of A Turning Point For Me Where I Felt Like, "okay, I'm Pretty Good At This And There's A Possibility For This To Be A Career For Me." That Was A Defining Moment For Me.

Competing At The Olympics Is The Pinnacle Of Your Career. Everything Is Amplified, And You Feel So Proud To Represent Your Country. You're There With Athletes From All Over The World. Everyone Is Coming Together, Putting Differences Aside.

I Know That I Wasn't Bred To Be An Olympian. I Didn't Start Running Until High School, And I Just Stumbled Upon To.
